Thursday morning I finally got to do stuffs for the actual shoot… IDs, signage, vehicle reservation, then at 3:00pm online editing (for the first project of mine), which I wasn’t able to see… walang kwenta…
Good thing when they asked me to get the client she turned out to be cool and really nice!
I rode with Ms Ann, (left the Provill driver for the other client that stayed at the office) talked about her family as graduates of UST… except for her, listened to U2… and Eraserheads (which I gladly elaborated the paths they made after their career) realized I really know my music! Saw a big black mass of cloud (as if we were under the threshold of the night.) told me that if I am going to be a director someday she better asked for my autograph…
But what really strikes me the most is when she said the dreadful words… “Welcome to the real world!” It is freak at some point especially for me whom solely mastered every corner of my university, my only comfort zone. I realized that growing old will never be an option for me… maybe growing up! Yes, I’ll definitely grow up! But I’ll never grow old… old people are sad and alone… robotic and phony. I know you guys know what I am talking about… Anyways… I ended the day, or the night (it was 10pm) walking at Ayala trying to figure out the way home… I really do not want to talk about this one.
Friday… more preparations for the shooting day… set check… more revision… and
Small chat with Take Sempai (Our D.O.P.)
I was getting a slice of pizza when he approached me…
“How are you?” (In a very Japanese way of talking)
“Fine!” (I was trying to process what he just said, baka kasi
“Do you know Kurasagi?” (i told him before that i like Jdorama)
“Yes! Yamapi!”
“Yes… the one with mafias… But I am still at the first episode…”
“Do you know Nobuta wo Produce?”
“Yes.. But I haven’t seen it…”
“You should watch it!”
“I like nodame Cantabile” (then he posed as if he’s playing the violin)
Our conversation ended like that… Boo… I am such a loser!!! I should have asked him more about whatever… Basta!
Shooting day! I was early… too early… ended early… wasn’t able to get a decent talk with Take Sempai…
I am so thrilled seeing the heavy lights he required for the shooting! Sa Japan kasi hindi issue ang equipments! Third world countries give big fuzz over this… Too many lights keme daw… I love it though! The space lights are awesome!!! God he suddenly turned into a hottie when he rode the foxy crane… hehehe… Yes! I have a thing for guys like that! I was planning to talk to him but well ang keme ko naman at biglang siya lang ang kakausapin ko! And besides he’s busy with the shoot and lunch time he was at the other table and all… Sir Raffy, the audioman kept me companied while I am having lunch at the props man’s table (wala ng table at di pwedeng sabay sabay kumain) he looks like Dan Humphrey’s father… rocker! He goes to Mayrics before!!! We talked about why am I having my internship at Provill… And everybody wanting to be a director… he told me to try Cinemalaya… OMG! I totally froze! Damn it how could that be? I never got a chance to discover my real passion tapos biglang sali sa Cinemalaya???
Hence… indie film with my dear friends and even those who just want to break the monotony in their lives…
PLEASE! HELP
I want to do it now! NOW! NOW! NOW! We got no story… nothing really just the hunger and passion to do or even try to do it!!! Help Help Help!
Btw. The son of Sir Raffy is pretty cute! Hehehe…
Dinner time I’ve talked to Kuya or Ate??? Alex (Asst Prod Designr) and his friend Lea… He told me how he got into the business and so forth… then Ate Lea being trained by him as a prod designer as well… they are nice people! (No Take Sempai… the directors ate earlier so they could discuss things…)
During the pack up I took some balots (used as props) along the many others (parang relief goods lang kasi me plastic bags pa kami) then I offered it to Sir Randy (my other PM) he was with Take Sempai so I offered him balots as well… Actually siya talaga yun balak kong bigyan… and of course I ended up silent again… TANG INA!
Went home.
10:30pm
Yun na yun…
